Uttarakhand - some more photos

My first four posts were all about my recent trip to Delhi and Uttarakhand, in this post I have shared a few more photos. This trip will always be memorable to me because this was the last holiday I spent with my mother who passed away recently.

Ganga Darshan

Today I have launched this blog in addition to Advertising Opinions which has been in existence for over a year.Yours Artistically is basically a photo and video blog, since I am an artist I will also cover art from time to time as well.
My first post is based on my recent trip to Uttarakhand in North India, the focus is the sacred River Ganga. During this trip I also happened to visit Mussourie, I will also share some photos and video of Mussourie as well in my later post.

Har-ki-Pauri in Haridwar, this was clicked in the evening.

Har-ki-Pauri, the Ganga Temple.

Ganga Arti at Har-ki-Pauri, Haridwar.

The taxi driver told us that the Ganga waters seen at Hari-kiPauri is actually a canal built to divert part of the Ganga waters. The original Ganga stream is what is shown above. The driver also told us that the original Hari-ki-Pauri is situated on the other side.

While clicking pictures of the Ganga in the morning at sunrise I noticed interesting cloud formations above the Shivalik mountains.

I would like to call this feather in the cap.

I would recommend Hotel Laxman Jhula Divine Resorts, the view is great, the food is tasty, service is good and they also have a bakery shop.
